History of the US Army Strategic Air Force: The United States Army Strategic Air Forces (USSTAF) was an essential command of the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II and into the Cold War. Formed in 1942, the Strategic Air Force played a critical role in developing the US’s nuclear deterrent capabilities, as well as the strategic bombing campaigns over Europe and Japan. The Strategic Air Force command was responsible for overseeing the operation of long-range bombers such as the B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, and later, the B-52 Stratofortress.
The SSI patch represents the proud heritage and mission of the Strategic Air Force. It was worn by personnel assigned to the USSTAF during its operational years and symbolizes the critical role that strategic bombing and nuclear deterrence played in the global security posture of the United States.
